    Are you putting the network key in to connect to the network? If you are, and still not connection try setting up WAP instead of WEP if possible.

    You have to setup your wireless adapter to use WEP?
    1 Control Panel
    2 Right click the wireless network connection,scroll down and click properties.
    3 Click wireless network tab.
    4 Click your network name.
    5 Network Authentication - select open.
    6 In Data Encryption select WEP.
    7 PUT in your network KEY.
    8 Click OK.

    Anyone should work,just copy and paste.Remember to save the key for future use.I pretty sure the selected key has 2 to 4 keys that are automatically generated for you.What ever you change your key to you'll have to put that into your adapter.
